Manual Testing

It’s boring and tedious !!I have to do the same process again and again with multiple

sets of data. There is no change in the application as well


Auto-generation of result file

Automated execution through test scripts

Automation Testing

Taking Screenshot and Auto-generation of report


Thanks to Automation Testing

Amazing !!Now I don’t have to do the same

process again and again with different sets of data. Everything is handled by the tool itself. Even

execution flow is too fast.

Automation Testing Advantages


Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web browsers across many platforms

Selenium features

Support for different programming languages - Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl, JavaScript

Support for different Operating Systems - Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android

Support for different browsers – IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera

Selenium Suite – Selenium IDE

Selenium IDE is a Firefox plugin which records and plays

back user interactions with the browser

Using Selenium IDE you can export the programming code

in different languages like Java, Ruby, Python etc.

It allows to record and play back tests conveniently that

were recorded previously in Selenium IDE

Selenium IDE is not the best solution for production testing


Selenium Suite – Selenium RC

Selenium Remote Control (RC) is a test tool that allows you to write web application tests in any programming language

RC Server receives the Selenium commands called Selenese from test program using simple HTTP GET/POST requests

Selenium RC Architecture


Selenium Suite – Web Driver

Selenium WebDriver is a compact Object Oriented API when compared to Selenium 1.0

It interacts with browser directly while Selenium RC needs help of RC Server to interact with browser which makes it slow

Selenium WebDriver overcomes the limitations of Selenium 1, like file upload or download, pop-ups and dialogs barrier


Selenium Suite – Selenium Grid

Selenium-Grid runs multiple

tests at the same time

against different machines

running different browsers

and operating systems

Node 1: IE on Windows

Node 2: Android

Node 3: Safari on Mac

Node 4: Firefox in Ubuntu









Node 2: Android



Designing Selenium Test Framework


While testing a web application using Selenium its very important to design a flexible test framework that can easily be

modified and reused

Selenium offers flexibility to create different types of test framework that can be reused

Types of Test Framework


In this framework flow of the automation is dependent on keywords

Each keyword in keyword driven framework has a specific meaning like

» Wait: Wait for some specific time

» Verify: Validation of text, object, value, or more

» Store: Store the value from web application

» Scroll Down: Scroll down in application

» Click, Enter Text, Select They are actions

Keyword Driven Framework


Keyword Driven Framework (Contd.)


The above snapshot is of test script for Keyword Driven Framework

Test Case to test framework will not change only data in excel will change with corresponding action

Object Name Gives a picture what is there in that step

Value If any value has to be entered then it has to be passed or else blank

Action What action to be performed

Property Type which identifier is used to find an object

Property Value identifier value

Status If action performed successfully then Pass or else Fail

Keyword Driven Framework (Contd.)

Hands-On


Data driven framework is almost same as keyword driven framework but in this framework we deal with variable data

Executing test case with different sets of data

Data driven framework is very helpful when we want to test the application with different sets of data and doing it

manually is a difficult and error prone task

Data Driven Framework


Data Driven Framework (Contd.)


In second column of DataDriven tab values are in curly braces({,})

which tells the tool that this field is dynamic and it’s value has to

be fetched from dataset tab

Data Driven Framework (Contd.)

Total Number of Execution = Number of Rows in dataset
